Dentures & Partials
Burleson, Texas
Missing some or all of your teeth can impact more than your smile. Your bite can change, and the remaining teeth may compensate, leading to uneven wear. Chewing can become harder, affecting what you're able to eat and, in turn, your nutrition. Speaking clearly can also become more difficult, and your confidence can take a real hit. These are more than just minor concerns.
Dentures and partials are a time-tested solution that has restored millions of smiles for generations. Today's modern dental solutions have improved dramatically, delivering more functional and natural-looking results. At My Burleson Dentist, we take the time to make sure your restoration fits well, looks natural, and enhances your quality of life. We invite you to visit our Burleson practice to get started today.
Our Treatments
Modern dentures are a far cry from those bulky, fake-looking ones of the past.
What Are Your Complete Denture Options?
Complete dentures are designed to replace all the teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches. At My Burleson Dentist, we offer both interim and final dentures to meet your unique needs.
Interim Dentures: These transitional dentures are created in advance and are positioned immediately after extracting any remaining teeth, so you never have to go without teeth. Because your gums and underlying bone change shape significantly during healing, immediate dentures require adjustments and relines in the weeks and months following placement. They offer a temporary solution until your mouth is ready for your final restoration.
Final Dentures: Once your gums and bone have fully healed, typically several months after extractions, we take digital impressions of your mouth for your permanent dentures. At this stage, the tissue is stable, and we can achieve a much more well-fitting, functional restoration that's noticeably more comfortable and secure than your immediate dentures. With proper care, your new dentures will enhance your smile for many years to come.
How About Partial Dentures?
If you are missing teeth but still have some healthy, natural teeth remaining, a partial denture can be the perfect solution to fill gaps in your smile. We are pleased to offer several partial options based on your needs and preferences.
Metal Framework Partials: A cast metal framework partial is the most durable and stable option we offer. The metal structure provides a strong foundation that holds up well over time and clasps securely to your natural teeth. Your new partials will help you enjoy more of the foods you love and smile with confidence once again.
Valplast (Flexible) Partials: Valplast partials are created from a thermoplastic resin and have no visible metal clasps. The flexible material conforms to the contours of the mouth, enhancing your comfort. Valplast is a more discreet option and a popular choice when aesthetics or metal sensitivity is a concern.
Interim Partials: These acrylic partials offer a temporary solution to fill gaps in your smile during a transition period. We may recommend these temporary partials as you wait for implants to integrate, while a permanent partial is being fabricated, or after an extraction when the area needs to heal before we can create your final restoration.
Getting Used to Life with Dentures
Getting used to life with your new complete or partial dentures will require an adjustment period. Eating and speaking may feel awkward at first. Start with softer foods, read aloud at home to practice your speech, and have a little patience with yourself as you adjust. You'll be amazed at how much more comfortable and functional your new dentures will be in a matter of a few days or weeks.
Our team at My Burleson Dentist will provide you with personalized guidance, and we're available to make any needed adjustments as the fit settles in. Don't hesitate to contact us if something feels off. Small adjustments can make a big difference in how your denture sits and feels.
